EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

ICC Sydney has an Emergency Response Plan in the event of medical, weather, fire and smoke and other exigencies. It is updated regularly, and drills are conducted annually. A trained Emergency Response Team will lead the implementation of all procedures. Event organisers are briefed on emergency procedures pre event.

To report an emergency or incident, call +61 2 9215 7660.

In the event of an emergency, one of two alarms may sound:

• Alert alarm – “Beep! Beep! Beep!” This is a warning alarm to notify everyone of a possible emergency. If it sounds, please stand by for further instructions.
• Evacuation alarm – “Whoop! Whoop!” This alarm means all occupants must evacuate. When it sounds, wardens will direct everyone to leave via the nearest exits quickly but calmly and assemble at the nearest evacuation point where they are to remain until ICC Sydney staff advise that it is safe to return.
